Mosaic Workshop

My career as a graphic designer and fine artist spans 35 years. In 1989, travelling through Italy, Spain and Morocco, my eyes were opened to the incredible craft of mosaic art. On my return to Brisbane, Rebecca Wilkie Designs Art Studio and ceramic tile factory was opened in Bulimba. Two years later, we moved to larger premises in Newstead, where the business enjoyed considerable growth during the next 12 years. Over time and many commissioned artworks, I was continually challenged to hone my skills and experiment with a wide variety of techniques and materials in order to fulfil the demands of producing fresh and unique mosaic artworks for my customers. Some of the commissioned projects include residential mosaics for walls, entry floor murals, tables, chairs, swimming pools, ponds, and stairwells. Larger commercial works, sculptural and public art commissions include Iguana Joes Bar in Gosford, Mater Children’s Hospital, 5 x McDonalds stores, Secrets on the Lake- Montville, Palazzo Versace Nypheum Walls, Charters Towers Community Centre, Seaworld Nara Resort Bar.

Creating mosaic art can be a very satisfying journey. I offer mosaic classes for beginners and more accomplished crafters. Art classes for adults is becoming more and more recognised for it’s therapeutic qualities. You can really lose yourself in this craft and enjoy the moment while focusing on cutting and shaping tiles to create your artwork. My Mosaic Workshop can be a great learning experience for most, but all who pursue artistic endeavours will find a positive outcome in the process. Take the first step on a new journey and spend a fun and informative day with me learning to mosaic!
